By ABC Goulburn Murray

The SES says despites a "reasonably" quiet weekend, people in parts of the Goulburn Murray region should be aware that there remains a large amount of floodwater water about and some properties remain isolated.

Spokesperson Chris Greenwood says the SES will start downscaling their operations but crews will remain operational and active as long as they are needed.

The SES says water levels are slowly receding in the Broken Creek however there is still much water about.

Greenwood says Nathalia is looking better after the weekend. "The water is on the downward trend there, we have lifted the prepare to evacuate warning for the community inside the levee." The SES says the prepare to evacuate message for rural areas outside the Nathalia levee will now be lifted today.

He says the Broken Creek peaked at Barmah on Saturday morning and there is no threat to the township itself but the SES will continue to monitor the situation. Water levels have also now peaked in areas to the south of Picola.

The SES reminds people there is still a lot of water around and people should be cautious and adhere to road closures.

A recovery centre remains in place at the Nathalia Dancocks Room of the Sport and Community Centre on Robertson Street opened 10am till 4pm.

The SES have received reports about people posing as SES representatives and asking for donations for those affected by the floods. The SES says these people are not them and advise you to call your local police if you are approached.
